- What kind of therapy do you provide?
Psychotherapy will help you better understand and change what is not working in your life. Psychotherapy will help you to see the obstacles standing between you and a more fulfilling life and happiness.
During sessions you will talk about the concerns and problems in your life. A session lasts 50 minutes, and regular sessions offer continuity and best results for change. During the time between sessions it is beneficial to think about the session, the process, and what was discussed.
By creating a trusting, confidential relationship with a non-judgmental therapist, by talking through everything that is on your mind, by putting your thoughts and feelings into words without feeling dismissed or judged, and by receiving professional advice and honest, caring feedback, change happens.
You begin to feel better about yourself and are more able to solve difficult problems, make better decisions, and feel more in control of your life. Painful thoughts and feelings become relieved, and you see yourself in a new and better way.
I provide individual therapy for adolescents and adults, and I also provide couples therapy.
